Wuts up BOTL! So I guess I'll just give a little overview on myself. Im 27 and currently live in Jersey City NJ. I work in the financial district in NYC at a (you guested it) financial firm. So I first really started getting into cigars two years ago when I was interning at what is now my full time job. There was this cigar shop down the street from my job that I found while walking around that had been around since like 1910 or something and I went in and the guy asked me "so what do you like?" and I had no idea. From then on I proceeded to visit the shop once week and the shop keeper would give me a different cigar to try until I developed my own palate. I've been hooked ever since! I heard about BOTL from numerous cigar blogs and thought it was about time I checked it out for myself and become a member. Cant wait to talk about stogies and get in touch with other cigar buffs in my area.

Hey man. I stayed in your city a few years back. One of the most expensive RV parks I've ever been to!

Welcome from north jersey! I'm assuming it was Barclay Rex that you used to frequent (only 100 year old store in NYC that I'm aware of). Enjoy the brotherhood
Hey CO Smokes...yea it was Barclay Rex the one on Broad st. I used to buy from them a lot but the tax on tobacco in NYC is a killer so I haven't been back to purchase from them in a long while.

Yea that's my local B&M at the moment. The owner is a good guy. They have a decent selection but again like you said...jersey prices. When I go to philadelphia to hang out with my cousins I always stock up at the shops over there because its always like 3 sometimes 4 bucks less a stick out there, especially compared to NYC prices. There is a cigar lounge in Jersey City above the cuban restaurant Azucar, its pretty cool. They have a little bar in the lounge which is pretty cool. The sell cigars but its a meager selection.
